“Michael Owen Unveils Shocking News on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Liverpool Future Amid Real Madrid Rumors”

With Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract set to expire this summer, speculation about his future is reaching a boiling point. Reports on New Year’s Eve revealed that Liverpool had rejected a January bid from Real Madrid for the 26-year-old, who has been heavily linked to the Spanish giants.

While earlier claims from Spanish outlets suggested Alexander-Arnold had informed Liverpool of his desire to join Real Madrid, the Liverpool Echo dismissed these rumors. According to The Times, Real Madrid were eager to sign a right-back after Dani Carvajal’s ACL injury, but Liverpool firmly rejected their approach.

This situation leaves Alexander-Arnold with two options: depart on a free transfer in the summer or agree to a new deal to stay at Anfield. However, the latter scenario appears increasingly unlikely.

Former Liverpool star Michael Owen, who himself moved to Real Madrid in 2004, weighed in on the matter. Sharing his thoughts on Twitter, Owen hinted that the decision might already be made.

“The very fact that Real Madrid have now made their intentions clear towards signing Trent Alexander-Arnold leads me to believe that it’s only a matter of time before he signs for them,” Owen tweeted. “If he was going to sign a contract extension, Madrid wouldn’t have officially made their move. Secretive talks will have taken place. Huge news.”
